We live in a world frequently described as mad, I’ll venture further to say best described as mad.
I do not purport the thought from mere ideological or religious reasons, I support the view of a mad world from what I as an individual have seen, observed, interpreted and analyzed.
The concept of one being peopled with masses(humanity) ever steadily streaming into oblivion, and these yet knowing of their impending doom. They so lack sense of value of their most precious commodity.
This commodity is time, for time is the real value within this world, one must conclude time decides much of what we can and cannot do, our lives are based upon the monotonous ticking of a clock, needs, desires, prayers, none can still the ticking, time does go on.
As a element we cannot control, but yet does it control our very lives I think you will agree this a most valuable commodity….
Yet how is this spent? How do we as a species of humanity spend our fleeting time?
I will break them into two categories, though they should be subdivided into countless categories subdivided again and again, but for the sake of simplicity and sacred time, I will concentrate on two…
There are those whose time is largely spent in the pursuit of what we call money, money which has only the true value of paper and ink, relying on human faith to provide it’s “buying power” on this alone is the value assured and rested….
Yet such is the faith of the general public that the value is inflated beyond belief! We are led to believe from childhood that this(piece of paper) holds value!
By this is life measured, through the possession of much or little you are judged as wealthy or poor…
What a glorious pursuit! Pray what better career path may be shown to the desirous young entering our maddening world? None, for success breeds success, to be successful you must only pursue this object to your eventual satisfaction and self glorification.
But wait, are we as an animal? Are we humans the crowing glory of the Darwinian process degraded to the state of mere beast?
Surviving till our end? Placidly at peace, only disturbed for a moment with pressing dangers(death, death of loves, disasters, etc) yet remembering not mere fractions of time later the danger that dwells.
But alas I fear worse, far worse. We have degraded below the status of beast! For we have had knowledge yet not wisdom…
For we know of our danger, yet we consciously choose to avoid the perplexing and conscious stimulating thoughts they bring, least they disturbed our current pursuits and temporary enjoyment.
Then there are those, few they are and perhaps growing fewer. For the mind will always battle with the will for the will of man(woman too, no offense) is weak and the mind oft feeble. Often too feeble is the mind to grasp and retain the desperate state of our lives, the troublous times we have entered, the growing madness engulfing our petrified world.
But there are these few who have strived too truly see, to face the fate awaiting knowingly, knowledgeably… Those who do not shun the thought due to fear of the thought, but embrace the knowledge, and the reality of a dieing world.
They have striven for other things beyond this span of time, devoting their time to forward progress not here but beyond… To the true betterment of person, what money cannot buy, love, peace, joy, not mere fading happiness.
They do not pursue a momentary goal, often the pleasures of the moment play second to those of a time not yet come.
The faith in the paper god of the world with them has long been dashed upon those cliffs of reason, and as such it is not solely sought. Time is not solely devoted to serving the self gratifications of the moment, for they work for a future. For all things must have a past, a present and a future! And bright will that future be while the past fades into receding shadow. For belief in the moment is no belief, it is a manifestation of doubt and strong disbelief and upon such can no firm structure stand.
Yes, FAITH a belief many vainly attempt to demean and decry, yet view those same ones! Their objection is without grounds, without support. For they all are living in a world of faith, for observe they who object and deride faith as a mere illusion they have placed all that they have toiled towards and account towards value on their god of money… their faith in their god…
These(the second group) place their faith in the future, promised, foreseen and ever envisioned. They work towards that which places the benefits of another before their own, and the joys of spirit before the gratification of the flesh. For they have acknowledged a dying world, and will not rest their treasures upon a eroding mountain. They seek to rescue others from the impending fate, assisting other in laying their treasures in a place of safety.
In the latter will I rest my faith, Lord I believe, help thou my unbelief….
